I think he's suggesting "With my brain and your ignorance, we can team up and make a lot of money from this nonsense." But you need to stop saying stupid shit.
@@dont-touch-mepg1392 Weinstein is being extremely polite (and condescending). He is NOT impressed. I guarantee you in private he mercilessly mocks Terrence Howard.
@@tapewerm6716 bingo. i've often wondered how much progress we lose due to the tyranny of mediocrity over f.u.d. fueled by the outliers' exceptionalism. like imagine if einstein had a carolina accent.
@@ThepurposeofTimeI think they mean his willingness to respectfully critique and have an homest discussion about his theories. Most others like NDT have simply refuted him and didn’t give Terrance a chance to have scientific discussion.
Idk why everyone is hating on Howard. The fact that he is self taught and understands this type of material is astonishing. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.
Terrence doesn't get it though. He knows some fancy words buts he uses them out of context, and he doesn't understand the science behind them. He pretends to know everything, and people that aren't into science don't know how clueless he is.
@@MrKydaman Who cares about terminology if you have something that could be used to improve energy generation? It's like a guy who makes a prototype for a quantum drive but misuses how terms associated with fractal density works and people decide crap on his lack of appropriate terminology rather than looking at testing his prototype.
insulting him. That foo couldn't even give a direct response. the you have pushing liquor on him when he said no. Joe, the way you swing on his nut, you think your Tarzan 😅😅 Terrence much love and respect to your research.
if he wanted to talk down to him he would make it very obvious. He was being respectful as much as he could while deconstructing what Howard was trying to say while teaching him why he was wrong.
@@TheTalisManDate Thank you, it’s more of he can’t believe that a self taught polymath has actually discovered something new. Furthermore, probably more subconsciously a black polymath at that. Moreover, he still cannot help but give him credit for seeing the contradictions in our mathematics 🔍
Eric seems to be trying to shake Terrence off the trail when he gets warm by saying yes that’s right but it’s also called this. He seems to be overly critiquing Terrence on certain terminologies and understandings & not wanting to say that’s right. What do you guys think? You have to watch the interview in its entirety to be able to answer accurately and truthfully.
Maybe some of things he say are wrong but it hasn’t been studied enough to just throw everything away without diving further into it, in other words there might be some hidden gems in everything he’s saying!
@@phinaphina3201Back in the good old west many people had to re-use the same bath water. After many uses the water would get really dirty where you couldn't see through it and needed to be dumped hence the saying came about to check your water before dumping, because there might be a child playing underwater. Sounds silly I know😂😂😂
Terrence is definitely curious, driven and intelligent, just lacks formal training and education. Average person can’t even study a chapter out of an introductory biology book, I admire his fortitude and genuine curiosity. We need more people like this.
We don't need more people like this, who if they had their way would have us stuck at year 1 level maths. The average person can read a biology book so I don't know where that came from. There's a difference between being curious, and just a narcissist who ultimately doesn't know how to think.
Whatever you may think of this, I admired Terrence Howard for diving into this type of stuff. Most people don’t have the fortitude to do so. I hope he continues to do this and grow into it.
I hope he learns how to say “I am wrong about this” out loud. Because this is all wasted if he never see himself being incorrect while looking evidence in the face
It's just a random statement because Terrence is saying he doest understand what he has just been told, so he's playing that he thinks we are just saying random things to each other.
They both just show respect for each other... He praises Terrance when he thinks he deserves it and guides him back from some of his more outlandish points. It's a genuine conversation with Joe as the host
He kept getting thrown off and interrupted, but the idea of modular drone swarms based off that design is actually pretty nuts. Imagine having 80 of them with like a 2lb lift capacity each in a warehouse, wirelessly tasked by an ai neural net to identify and move packages in 3d space for max efficiency, grouping together magnetically whenever they need to lift heavier objects.
but the problem is i think it would be less energy efficient at hovering because of more weight and les propulsion shooting downwards. Its biggest advantage is its6 degrees of freedom to fly around. I'm thinking of them working inside a giant beehive mind kind of thing but regualr drones could also do the job so idk.
why? what the issue with 4 motor drone for warehouse? how would this be better? you dont need drone to rotate wildly, you only need stable platform for warehouse operation
@MartinDlabaja the only answer would be their ability to connect to eachother. You could achieve the same thing with multiple 4 rotor drones, but you'd have significantly less structural integrity in that design, which is important for heavy lifting. That's about the only possible benefit I can think of.
This is the type of content we all should be watching and listening to everyday, instead of all that sex, porn and stupidity we are forced to have to watch, love these two geniuses
the thing is eric is not a genius either. he shouldve said whats wrong with all the stuff terrence says DIRECTLY but he didnt. he wants to grab some of terrence community thats it. if he would just deny everything and explain why its so wrong then terence fans would instantly hate him. openyour eyes man
Terrence clarified that it is a metaphor. I believe what he is saying is that in real life arithmetic does not always work as we expect. E.g while 1+1=2 what is one cloud plus one cloud? Is it two clouds or is it one cloud if they are close enough. In arithmetic when you multiply one by one it is one but if you multiply one wave by one wave you will not get the same wave.
@@shaylove3786 Ahh...great! Thx for your thoughts. I only saw a few clips (lot of bashing T.H.), but didn't have the patience to see the entire podcast (have to dive deeper into that). Yeah, nature can't be forced into corset of "simple" mathematics, as in 1x1, 1:0 (ok, here "simple" only means the small numbers, not the implications behind it...), etc. it's interactive, synchronized, fractal and so much more than "numbers"...numb? 😮
@@shaylove3786 except the time he said the reason for economic problems is banks work on 1dollar x 1 dollar = 1 dollar and it could be solved by 1dollar x 1dollar= 2 dollars. Because multiply means to increase. That's a metaphor?! I don't see it.
This was a great Interview they're very respectful towards Made jokes and didn't try to make the other feel stupid instead I listen to each other which is how we all should be
Smiling in agreement, also hoping the teacher doesn't point me out in class and ask me to stand up and see if I can answer the question... wtf was the question
Terrance is a actor who has the entire science community talking, thats genius in itself, over 100 million views and growing, he may not understand terminology, he may not understand physics and quantum math but he isn't dumb as everyone make him out to be from these comments, Terrence is a millionaire, had a great career....how many of these people calling the man stupid ever done anything with their life other than point fingers ....EXACTLY!!!!
Eric had to dumm down to talk to him. It was good anyway. But Terrence is up to Ericz heals. Don't assume they are in the same level based on this interview
Did we watch the same thing? That entire video was the guy very nicely telling Terrance that he had no clue what he was talking about but potentially stumbled on a cool thing in spite of it.
Nope he is an idiot who startted new movement called Terrencology that soon will substitute flat earth.... similarly its based on pseudoscience, spiritualism and conspiracy theories :P
No he's not. He's misleading people and basically growing a cult of morons that think he's some sort of prophet. He says he's been visited by an angel who taught him all this crap.
Terrence Howard doesn’t have to be right or genius but we know he’s been a consistent actor since the 90s and on the side as a passion was learning and teaching himself high levels of math and physics. Weinstein during that same time has been doing nothing but this academically and yet people in the comments think their smart by pointing out that one of the smartest mathematicians is smarter than an actor that did enough to rattle the whole scientific and mathematical world.
Respect to this comment. Terrence is doing, while the PHD dorks are just running their mouths, as they do. It is telling that Eric doesn't even know anything about the flower of life, but has the nerve to scold someone on what is right or wrong. Eric is establishment educated so he wants everyone to think he is an authority. Really, Eric isn't doing anything of great value and his time talking to Terrence is some of his greatest exposure. Terrence needs to stand on the fact that the traditional science system doesn't have a seat at the head of the table. They are just company like anyone else willing to challenge ideas.
@@rashadd2615 It’s nonsense to highly educated mathematicians, but if you watch the interview, Weinstein said and asked the definition of at least a dozen words I’ve never heard of and Terrence knew what they were, his theories might be wrong but his understanding isn’t. But you probably understood what they were talking about to know which part was nonsense.
I think the phenomenon being witnessed here, aside from the now normalised contemporaneous ‘tribal sifting’, is that an autodidact is asking FUNDAMENTAL questions that haven’t been the subject of skepticism for ‘generations’… …now, the not so communal scientific community - which depends on mathematical application - is having to reassess one of its founding ‘assumptions’… …because this generation just accepted it, because it’s a fundamental ‘principle’. You don’t doubt - question - first principles. I made the mistake of asking a non-mathematician, a teacher who taught computer science: why BODMAS? He couldn’t give me a logical explanation, so I couldn’t see the point in mathematics that was (seemingly) arbitrary. The truth is, is that mathematics has to be understood linguistically, and no one language is ‘true’… …they talk about how mathematics is a universal language, but do you think for a second that a scientific alien species is going to use symbols like: 1x1=2 And even if they did, do you think they’d ‘mean’ exactly the same as ‘our’ mathematical symbols ie language? The language of mathematics that has evolved here on earth will have ‘losses’ in translation, and that’s simply because it cannot - in every conceivable mathematical application- be expressed with ZERO ambiguity. Mathematics makes sense to scientists because it’s taught - learned - applied & accepted in a consistent manner between scientific communities over generations. But even then, it’s not perfect, it will produce contradictions: because the language that describes a thing is not the thing itself. That’s why a human + an ant = a concrete problem. One CD 💿 + one DVD 📀 = two what? And if you multiply these two concrete things together you will still have one optical disc in one hand & one optical disc in the other. Terrance’s way of thinking differs from Eric’s because there’s a conscious connection to the concrete that doesn’t allow something abstract ‘to be’ IF it depends on ‘nothingness’ to exist. ‘Nothing’ - for Terrance’s intelligence - IS impossible… …and cannot therefore be factored in. Skeptics remind us that we shouldn’t even accept basic science, and it’s the naysayers who are not curious - and worse so the ‘enlightened’ yaysayers who are contemptuous of such skepticism - who are dangerous to human flourishing. I’ve seen flat earthers devise experiments to test the adverse of their flat earth hypothesis, experiments that ‘successfully’ disprove rather than defend their flat earth hypothesis - that’s a real scientist. Terrance & Eric are a healthy conflict, and the resolution to all this is educating future generations ‘how’ to think scientifically: just like that ‘ex’ flat earther… …who was really a curious & open minded skeptic, who was also an independent thinker who knew how to think for himself. I encourage anyone to do the same, because this world fears intelligence - and not because it lacks understanding.
You don't understand the potential of what he has done. This may be the technology that delivers your packages in the future and as he says may also replace cranes and other types of heavy machinery in the future. He is on to something.
Open minded ultra rational vs inspired. The one is trying to box the other into his way of thinking while the other is having trouble presenting his ideas by the others language
This guy gets it. To Eric's credit, though, he even derides his own institutions' way of thinking and credits Terrence for bringing forth concepts that challenge the notion of the standardised way of utilising the scientific method. I hope Terrence keeps going and I hope his work is actually properly prototyped and theoretically tested with vigorous rigor. I would hate to see it get scooped up and buried under some kind of mega-corps' patent landfill where many innovative ideas go to be lost forever.
Inspired doesn't mean correct. You seem to forget that Terrance spent so much time saying how everybody else is wrong. An ego so large that he proclaims himself a genius. He now holds a conversation with the real deal, and his ideas were quickly pulled apart. To Eric's credit, he treated Terrance with respect while completely dismantling his ideas. You could tell early into the podcast, Terry knew he wasn't going to fool Eric with Jargon, word salad, and out of context science. The emperor has no clothes.
He does, but he states that he doesn’t know if he’s the first person to do so but if he is it’s extraordinary, you definitely didn’t watch were explaining the lynch pin
@@dharrison119 nothing new under the sun i think as the atmosphere errodes the knowledge that assisted all advanced leaders in the distant past present and future our 3 axis of perception
Honestly even though I don’t agree with Terrence’s stuff like 1x1=2 I commend him for not being disrespectful towards Eric like many others would. Terrence had a honest conversation and respected Eric. He even took his feedback on many things and seemed to be willing to learn.
Terrence needs to keep working on it.. He is tralblazing through the thickets, what for? I'm not sure yet.. he is a man on a mission to god knows where.. all the best!
all he did was use the wrong angle for a geometric shape to try forcing something to exist that can't exist. IT essentially boils down to him jamming the rectangle into the square whole, and breaking the toy.
@@RockSleeper OR he helped him realize that they were making the toy wrong to begin with. It literally all is in how one perceives a concept. I don't know if TH is a genius or not,but many discoveries are made by accident and lots - if not most of physics - is a bunch of mostly unproven theories anyway. We are finite beings and don't know near as much as we think we do as humans,while at the same time dismissing others' logic and personal experiences. Don't even try to pretend like you and Dr EW here are above that,lol. Human science is no longer ruled by truth;it's ruled by money,prestige,and the fear of being wrong. Ask me how I know how,with repeated firsthand experience.
LOL far from a genius: Put simply, Terrence needs WAY more training than he has now. The guy is more suited to be an "inventor" as he lacks geometric foundations (incorrect use of arc-cosine function), misinterprets tetrahedral angles, makes erroneous claims of undiscovered geometry, and lack of empirical evidence. The main thing is that his basic error in basic trigonometric calculation completely undermines all the arguments he makes.....noting but logical fallacies and non-scientific justifications. When you get any kook that speaks with confidence, uses what seems to be esoteric knowledge, and is not challenged, he can get away with just about anything. Its the same reason why you see many leaders in huge companies not knowing much about the area they lead and still holding high positions.
I love that Terrence is so curious! And so courageous to share something he knows will be contentious. I don’t care if he is ‘wrong’. I’m so glad he is loud about his idea.
4 hours of a whole buncha nothin' . They didn't finish a single thing, couldn't stay on topic, and just kept moving on to the next thing. It reminded me of a college party where everyone is absolutely faded, drunk and high trying to have a philosophical conversation but forgetting where their thoughts were going.
some progress was made because they did some interpreting of what Terrence is trying to put forward but Eric still doesn't understand all of it and keeps cutting Terry off. what Terry keeps trying to say is that these "errors" that make the Lynchpin work also apply across a lot of systems that have been built into our mathematical approximations of reality.
@JohnDoe-cd6ro That's because nothing, Terrence has stated, is based on any kind of actual facts. It seems like Eric was trying to keep from telling him why he's wrong
Did you watch the full 4 hours? He’s cutting Terrence off here because he kept driving home that Terrence is smart, knowledgeable and correct about things, but then the next breath says stupid nonsensical shit that makes mathematicians and scholars think he’s full of shit. He’s basically trying to coach Terrence how to propose his ideas like a sane person so people can give him credit. Ex: Terrence - “2 is a special number and not a normal even number because it is the only even number that is also a prime number, and the square root of it you get in a calculator is incorrect”. mathematicians - “true! Nice! You figured that out on your own… that’s intelligence!” Next sentence: Terrence - “so that means 1x1 is 2.“ mathematicians and population - “man this dude is dumb af and crazy af”.
I listened to the entire interview. Eric is a good guy. He showed a lot of patience and caring towards Terrence when most people would have just started insulting him right off the bat. Eric looked at his ideas 1 at a time and actually took the time to consider each carefully before giving feedback. Terrance did prove to me that in keeping up with Eric that he actually does know some things and it isn't 100% BS. Just maybe 95%BS :-). I liked that you picked this particular part out to break down.
@@tapewerm6716 That pseudo science has some very interesting aspects and some that admitted are a bit absurd/out there for me. It's cool as it gets you thinking. Especially the shapes and patterns he creates
He also destroyed terrance on literally everything else. He basically told him you made a cool shape take the compliment without talking because your going to further discredit yourself
Yet a lot of people didn't understand what Weinstein was talking about and based on the general tone of the conversation came to the conclusion that he was supporting Howard.
The long version of a backhanded compliment! All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.(A.S.)
Can you give an example of this so I can understand what you’re saying? Do you mean “idea” or “theory” instead of truth? Seems like some truths are immediately self-evident like saying the sky is blue.
@@curtisclack9067 I could ponder this (not the flat earth thing) for a while. Willful ignorance seems to be the wild card in all this. You can prove a truth to be self-evident but people will still refuse to acknowledge it.
@@carrow2250it's not self evident that the sky is blue, the sky can be many different colors depending on the conditions, I've seen orange skies, purple skies, pink skies, even green and yellow skies
In fact these shapes are actually based on what he got wrong. If you listen to the interview, he clearly states this. When he’s talking about the lynch pin
They know this entire "debate" is bs. Just something popular on RU-vid that will gain millions of views. Its not a serious scientific or intellectual discussion
Lol I'm gonna take that line from Terrence "Jason do you understand what's Happening when the 3rd degree of the Tetrahedron can't fit with the Pythagoram angle?" Me: "B." "Actually, it signifies.... "Oh, THAT's what you're talking about." Aka "I wasn't totally lost, I simply misunderstood what you were asking."
"You have a pythagorean comma in the middle of your linchpin." --Eric politely telling him everything he's done is worn out, hack science that intentionally disregards mathematics. Terrence: 2:05 "Yes, I do!" -Howard admitting it. Conversation should've ended there. Which it DID (2:11) and then Howard literally runs away deflecting. I used to think Howard was crazy, but this exchange, pob brought on by drinking, proved he's just a scoundrel.
The very fact that Terrence goes into jokes breaks out and song and chuckles throughout the conversation means he is seriously insecure, caught out there, cannot truly answer and realizes he is outmatched
He asked him to sing the song because they were talking about thirds and fifths in chords. This clip has been edited to capture the gist of the conversation. You should watch the interview. They were all having a good time.
I think you are grossly misrepresenting Terrence's view of this conversation. Terrence has said many times throughout the podcast that he is looking for someone like Eric Weinstein to help him make sense of these ideas so that other intellectuals like Eric Weinstein's colleagues will not feel so offended by what he is trying to convey. Terrence thinks vastly differently to how Eric thinks. It's like a fish saying to a squirrel, "I am better than you at swimming" and then the squirrel going to the fish "yeah but can you climb a tree?" They simply think differently.
@tapewerm6716 Terrence is not trying to take over the world. He genuinely believes he has ideas that will contribute to science. Whether Terrence's theories benefit the scientific field or not remains to be seen. It takes an unconventional viewpoint to change an otherwise stagnant domain. Keep in mind that the first person to say the Earth was round was considered a heretic. We used to think smoking was good for us. You are simply perpetuating an old cycle. Weinstein has expressed how he is interested in working with Howard (prbly for the business opportunity and exposure) yet I'm sure Eric would help Howard articulate his points in such a way that would allow other intellectuals understand the theories a little more. Me, I understand Howard perfectly. He speaks much like someone I know. I know more or less what Howard is trying to say, and he is attempting to provide information that others may have overlooked. Eric himself even said, "This is why you don't throw the baby out with the bathwater." A highly logical thinker is more open-minded than you, apparently.
Terrence Howard is awesome. Im grateful for him. And Weinstein explained exactly how and why people are aholes in science and in the world towards Terrence and anyone who goes against the status quo and compulsory learning and mainstream paradigms. Terrence Howard seems to be very genuine and passionate and its a breath of fresh air.
@@liamwillick2059 You asking me or Terrence? I'm not the one claiming what he's claiming... Apart from that I have my Bachelor's degree and I'm also a business owner, with 10 people employed... Some with their Masters... I must be doing some right. 🤷🏾♂️
Yep should be 432hz not 440hz. The later being off frequency to the human resonance. Scientists ignore this vibration but Tesla didn't. If they admit to it, hello free power. That's why it's debunked.
YEP, and NOPE... this is not what Terence and Eric are talking about. Hear me out before you dismiss this. Eric is saying it's genius because of temperament. The math is adjusted slightly to make it work better than if you used pure math. Maybe that speaks to our math being wrong, maybe not. I don't have the skills or knowledge to argue this either way, but i do know temperament in my bones. Especially when it comes to music, which is what Eric is relating it to, even if he's not saying it outright. Pythagoras showed us you can take a string, pull it tight, and pluck it to make a tone or note. Cut it in half, you'll get the same tone/note one octave higher. Our western musical scale is based on tones in-between those octaves. Which are really based on the harmonic series, but that's a whole different story. The point is... if you use pure math to divide these tones they sound beautiful within the octave.. no matter the tuning.. 440 420 whatever. and we werked with it for hundreds of years. Only problem was if you wanted to modulate outside of that one octave or key, you'd run into sour notes, they were called wolf notes. Then one day a genius came along, not unlike Terrence, named Johann Sebastian Bach. And this is before pianos existed. They was on harpsichordz and shit. He was like "What if we fudge these tunings just a bit... Like take the wolf notes and split the difference between all the notes in the octave?" The result is the temperament tuning. Which is what we use today. Most people wouldn't even notice that slight detune in our scales, but it gives us the freedom to modulate outside of that one octave, and go wherever we want musically without unintentional dissonance. Eric is saying he's a genius because of temperament. Temperament by definition is deviating from the pure math, and that's a good thing sometimes!!! Harmony is a whole different thing... individual notes/tones and timbres intertwining in ways that make a new thing out of their individual parts. The main thing I'm tryin to say is... you right. Music was better 50 years ago 😅
I really like how Eric is handling this. I watched the whole podcast. Show an open mind some respect and guide him towards errors with respect and taking the thoughts seriously. Add education to a fresh mind that is, without a doubt not dumb but the opposite and steer a talent towards a right direction. This is how science should be. Allow "over the edge thinking" without discrediting the person.
Literally said he shouldn't be humble with his invention. Thought Eric schooled him. He gave him his flowers as well. And made Howard realize he should accept it.
"Garlic makes my feet stink!!" Lol. Classic. I really enjoyed this episode. Howard humbles himself and listens to this expert, which is very cool. Hire this guy Mr. Howard. Pay him for his factual knowledge. Let's save this world. ;-)
This Terrence Howard thing made me realize, you can be a genius and be wrong about a lot, in fact geniuses are probably wrong more than others, because they are constantly putting forward new theories and ideas.
It is extremely difficult to innovate and actually make something useful. His drone concept is a multi million $ idea if he keeps pursuing it. Terrance is taking risk and has made a platform for himself to speak with some of the leaders in science and tech. Hats off. Keep innovating, failing, and getting back up to improve the next idea.
@@ModMax69 : You can't comprehend what my comment means do you? 😄 3 or 4 times more motors, batteries, weight, and noise. No proven lifting capability and a flight time of a couple of minutes. Most of the power is wasted blowing air sideways. If connected to each other, even more of the power will be wasted blowing air in useless directions. Now you may have heard Terrence promise to provide Uganda with futuristic defensive capabilities with his Lynchpin drones via "unlimited bonding super symmetry", "new hydrogen technology", and "grand unified field equation" which Terrence claims he invented and has patents for. His drones could farm all the food for the population and collect all the rubbish in the oceans. Dude seriously are you that gullible? The last 2 famous people that made promises to Uganda was Kanye West's disneyland soundpark, and Akon's Wakanda city. Did you believe them too? Terrence's drones are no more than a novelty toy, that would need recharging every 10 minutes. I used to work with an Australian guy who managed to successfully sell his airborne technology to the US military for millions. Unless you can show a huge energy and cost saving, you won't even get their attention. These Lynchpins cost more, use more energy, are more complicated, and have less capability. Stop being a sucker.
The entire point of engineering is to build something that will be used to solve a problem. Lynchpin doesn't solve any problems. Its simply an energy and flight inefficient drone
I understand why people are making fun of Terrence. But that shape applied to lightweight aerial vehicles expands opportunities in flight as we know it. Call him stupid or crazy, but he had enough sense to patent it.
